BORIS NAVASARDYAN. “LEVON TER-PETROSYAN’S OPEN LETTER SHOULD HAVE STARTED WITH THE PROPOSAL TO DIALOGUE.”

February 18 2015

“I expected more of the president than an article, a note. I would
have expected from the First President of what specific solutions he
sees”, said the President of the Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasardyan,
in the conversation with Aravot.am, referring to the first President
Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s open letter. In his opinion, the author of this
open letter could be a person who has a smaller impact on domestic
political developments but not the first president. “In this regard,
questions arise as to what extent it is agreed with other opposition
forces and their leaders so that the proposal that Levon Ter-Petrosyan
is ready to make to Serzh Sargsyan, if not agreed, then to the extent
it is serious. This suggests that there are questions where Levon
Ter-Petrosyan is ready to have a bipartite separate dialogue with the
government authorities, without agreeing it with the partners of the
Parliamentary Trio. Most importantly, these questions would be answered
prior to further domestic political development.” Boris Navasardyan
considers that it would be better to voice the proposal and enter
into a dialog, and then criticize the Pan Armenian Declaration. “The
criticism of the Declaration happened earlier than the proposal to
dialogue, it’s weird, because you first strongly criticize and then
offer to enter into a dialogue. Naturally, the dialogue, moreover,
the constructive dialogue becomes more difficult.

If there were ideas, thought and other opinions, the open letter should
have started from the proposal to dialogue rather than the criticism.”
